The Revive drive function will revive (attempt to spin up) a selected failed drive.
Important: Correct use of this option depends on the data configuration on all of the drives
in the array. Never attempt to revive a drive unless you are supervised by your IBM
Customer Support representative.
Attention: If you have multiple failed drives, do not attempt to revive them. Do not attempt
to reseat the drives in their slots. Always save a Collect All Support Data log and contact
your IBM Technical Support representative for guidance on recovery.
Perform these steps to revive a failed drive:
1. In the Physical tab of the DS Storage Manager (Subsystem Management) window, select
the failed drive.
2. Select the Advanced  Recovery  Revive  Drive menu command as shown in
Figure 14-129 on page 426.
